Builders: Shouldland Machines LTD.

Civilian Discription: It can excavate 240,000 cubic metres of overburden daily — the equivalent of a football field dug to 30 meters (98.4 ft) deep. The overburden produced in one day fills 2400 average dump-trucks. The Magno-saw is approximately 240 m long and 96 m high. The magno-saw's operation requires 16.56 megawatts of externally supplied electricity. It can travel 2 to 10 m (6.6 to 32.8 ft) per minute (0.1 to 0.6 km/h). The chassis of the main section is 46 meters (151 ft) wide and sits on 3 rows of 4 caterpillar track assemblies, each 3.8 m (12.5 ft) wide. The large surface area of the tracks means the ground pressure of the Magno-saw is very small (17.1 N/cm2 or 24.8 psi); this allows the excavator to travel over gravel, earth and even grass without leaving a significant track. It has a minimum turning radius of approximately 100 meters, and can climb a maximum gradient of 1:18.

The ground-destorying head itself is 21.6 m in diameter and has 18 buckets each holding 6.6 cubic meters (7.9 yd³) of overburden.

The first test of the Magno-saw was done in March,7 of 2007 on the Usie mountain. After 1 week of use the Magno-saw was able to remove the mountain in its entirty.

The Unit was also tested for any possible military options. these options can be provided upon request.

OOC: Nice. The only thing I can't figure out is whether this is like a Quarry Stripmining Digger, or like a Construction Excavator.

OOC: yes and no... It has many attachments, the current attachment is the digger blade.

OOC: I see, well. My recommendation is to better organize the vehicle's statistics into an easily readable manner. Other than that, looks good, although I am by far not a specialist in mining equipment.
